Shops Personalized Leather Mandolin Strap with Flowers - 1" wide - Handmade Mandolin or Ukulele Strap with Custom Inscription - Antique Brown

When I started working with leather 12 years ago, one of the very first patterns I made I called the "Smokey" pattern. It included a hand-written, custom inscription. I was the first one to do it, and the method I use, writing every inscription entirely by hand, gives my work a rustic, handmade, and very special look. The inscription on this mandolin strap can be anything you can imagine - song lyrics, wedding vows, a letter, or scripture. What will yours say?

To make this piece I start with a vegetable tanned tooling leather leather then cut, brand and dye it by hand before applying a protective coat to keep it safe from the elements. The antique brown dye will vary from piece to piece because leather is a natural material so some may be darker or lighter than the image shown. Each flower is branded, painted and cut out by hand before being riveted to the strap.

TO CUSTOMIZE THIS PIECE: Just add it to your cart and put the inscription as you would like it to appear on the strap in the "NOTES TO SELLER" section when you check out. No need for a custom listing! You can include up to 300 characters including spaces and punctuation.

COLOR: This strap is "antique brown" as shops shown in the picture. It's a warm true brown. Since leather is a natural material, some variation is to be expected. The flowers are shades of blue, pink and silver with an antique brown finish.

STRAP DETAILS: This strap works for ukuleles and mandolins and measures 1" wide. It adjusts from 35" to 47" by way of a metal buckle.

This strap comes with a leather tie to attach it to the head of the instrument if you don't have two strap pins.
